Hylar PVDF possesses the characteristic stability of fluoropolymers when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environments. It is readily melt processable by standard methods of molding and extrusion. In addition, especially at elevated temperatures, Hylar PVDF can be dissolved in some polar solvents such as esters and ketones. This selective solubility is an advantage in the preparation of corrosion resistant coatings for chemical process equipment and long-life decorative finishes on building panels.
